I live in Arizona, obviously, and the numbers don't gibe. I'd be happy to walk, and cut off California's water in the process ;-) BTW, Indiana is quite solvent ;-) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

For some reason tonight, I can't seem to find one that's actually per capita. Past numbers I've looked at certainly indicated that Arizona and Texas would be better off. I do know, that if we killed all liberals, it would benefit not only the economy but the climate as well ;-) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | Liberals are so cute. �Dumb as a box of rocks, but cute.

From: osr on 13 Oct 2009 09:11 One, education at a university is what the "student" makes it to be. Two, what does she plan to major in? Three, look at the grants and publications of that department. More grants and pubs = actually doing something and possibly awake enough to teach a good course. Four, then look at the ratio of hired instructors and grad students to professors teaching Math and English. If you have a high IG to P ratio, bail.... Math and English are the weedout courses for scholarship students. Steve

I'm the pro here, so why would I be asking circuit questions ?:-) And I _do_ respond to valid technical queries. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.
